Is it normal to suddenly become very self aware when someone compliments your appearance?

When someone compliments on your appearance the focus of the conversation suddely lies on you so i think it's totally normal.

Definitely. Something you were not aware of is made known when someone compliments you and suddenly you're thinking about it. That's a perfectly normal reaction.

I think so. I think we tend to forget to remind ourselves that we are beautiful, so when someone else does it, it bring us back into focus and a viewpoint of self love.

Yes definitely! The compliment brings our attention to the detail/details they complimented us on and we can become hyper aware! It’s completely normal

It is normal to become self aware when you get a complement, it happens all the time. You just have to remember, that at the end of the day, you're perfect in your own way.

It is normal. In the meantime you may also be aware of the fact that you pay more attention to what others think of your appearance. It is more like others' opinion makes you realize what you look like. Compliments make you feel in a certain way. My question is, "How are you feeling about it?" You look in a certain way. That is it. Others' perception of your is outside of you. When they give you the good feedback, you react in a certain way. Now you are wondering whether it is normal. It is a way to solicit validation from a person who has never meet you.

Based on my personal experience, I would say yes. Because generally people compliment you on what they like and not necessarily something you like. Also, for many people, they don't compliment something unless it really strikes them. Which means you may probably not have thought that the scarf you put on hurriedly in the morning because it was by the coat rack would be something that someone else would love to the point of complimenting. So the compliment makes you more aware of something you were oblivious to, hence why you would become self aware.
